CascadingDropdown on SP2013

I’m trying to replicate cascading dropdown function in SP2013 with just Region & State, but no luck. I checked the (IE9) debugger and I am seeing the the two references to SPServices 2013.01 and jQuery 1.10.2.min. I put this in a CEWP on the edit form
of my library just to work out the kinks. No errors, but states do not filter. Heres the code:

With debug enabled I get no IE9 window errors. With the Developer window open I do get a couple of warnings in the Script / Console pane, but these don't appear to be relevent:
HTML1113: Document mode restart from Quirks to IE9 Standards
EditForm.aspx?ID=1&Source=http . . . &ContentTypeId=0x01006AABF06344523E4DBEC0AD97DE435D97
SEC7115: :visited and :link styles can only differ by color. Some styles were not applied to :visited.
EditForm.aspx?ID=1&Source=http . . . &ContentTypeId=0x01006AABF06344523E4DBEC0AD97DE435D97

I also tried a script that we're using sucessfully on our MOSS 2007 SharePoint forms, but it doesn't work in SP2013 either.

If you're not getting any script errors and you don't see a debug error from SPServices, then there must be something off in your data. What does the States list look like? It should be two columns (or more), where Title contains the name of the State
and Region is a lookup column to Regions.Title.

Also, if your page is in the list's context, you don't need listName: “Locations”,

I was just creating an identical setup in my Office365 instance, and I noticed that you have "curly" quotes around the text values in your code, like this: “Title” as opposed to "Title". That would throw an error, but it also could
just be from the paste you did here. Worth a check.

Anyway, I figured out what the problem was. Suffice it to say that I was doing something dumb. Try 2013.02BETA1. It
really should work this time, as I debugged it on exactly your situation.

I checked the doubel-quotes and they are the standard type " " - I'm using Notepad so it filters most formatting quirks.
I also checked the data. Here is the States list that has the lookup to the Regions so you shold be able to tell both are fine:

I also tried the PServices-2013.02BETA2.js as you suggested - no change in the results though. I was rather looking forward to it working. I know we'll get there though.
